Trucking accidents are among the most serious and deadly accidents that occur on our nation’s roadways and highways. Sadly, all types of trucking accidents occur on a daily basis, often with catastrophic consequences. Truck drivers are required to follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, which govern the hours of work, driver training, and drug testing, among other things. In the event of a collision, the sheer size and weight of trucks as well as other large commercial vehicles can cause a tremendous impact on the individuals involved. This is especially true for occupants in passenger vehicles. Individuals often suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, paralysis and even death. Many of these types of injuries require lifelong care.
